My friend Connie...

I looked at her the other day and said "do you know that we've known each other for 20 years?"

She said "no we haven't!!!, it's only been like 10 years"

nope!

Geez we are older than dirt!

So. I came to Nashville on Friday morning for the Brentwood Academy Fine Art Show.

It has been SO wonderful and I have been surrounded by some of the best artists I have ever seen.

(the show still goes on today from 1 - 5)

Connie always welcomes me into her beautiful home when I come to visit all of my old friends.

It has just been wonderful seeing everyone. I drove into Brentwood and a pang hit my heart missing the beautiful rolling hills and massive mansions that surround this quaint city. If you're looking for a place to live, go to Brentwood. Simply the best little town in the south.

Connie has a sort of adopted son that lived with her while he was in high school. A great kid who comes back to visit every so often. Ryan is in Afganistan serving our country. One of those guys who does everything for everyone while he is visiting! I want a Ryan to take home with me.

I miss my bestest buddy and her family who are like my own!

hubs Bill!

This has been such a wonderful weekend, topped off with a win from my favorite team!!!

About Me.

First, I'm a "blog-a-holic". I blog almost everyday. It's my journal of my life. For my kids to see and remember me by! I am the proud wife of "W" for 30 years and have 3 beautiful, wonderful grown kids, one son in law, one daughter in law, 3 precious g-babies. (I promise you, you will see them plastered all over here.) I am an artist, crafter, love to cook, sew, play tennis, and golf. I love to do tutorials also so you WILL see many tutorials on my blog. After being in the Interior Design business for 15 years I decided to try my hand at painting. To my surprise, my art has been well recieved! In the 2 1/2 years that I have been marketing my work, I have sold over 150 pieces to collectors. I also do art giveaways about once a month so check back often!!!

Hope you enjoy reading! and please comment! I would love to hear from you!
